Something to consider… If I remember correctly (it’s been some weeks since I saw Morley’s video), Morley not only staged the table in a more upscale setting, he also included multiple pictures of him working on different stages of the process. Most people don’t consider how much time and labor can go into making a piece. By showing all the various steps and tools used, it helps give them context as to why a given item might have the price tag attached to it.
@88jpen Рік тому
Fair, but at the end of the day it's a basic coffee table. Just because you pour more of your time into it doesn't automatically imbue it with more value, otherwise just keep working at the table forever until it's "worth" a million dollars. At some point the market will only pay so much, and there's only so many people willing to pay $600 for a coffee table regardless of how much TLC was used in its creation. Something to consider when watching video like Morley's is how repeatable their claim is. Based on his channel I believe Morley is actually making the lion's share of money from views, so he's incentivized to embellish what he claims to sell his work for. A simple Google search for similar items of work will tell you a more accurate estimate for what you can sell it for. Maybe a slight bump if your piece is truly artesian. If you truly could make outrageous returns consistently on this stuff the market would be flooded by people far more competent than DIYers looking for a side hustle, and the competition for the same coffee table would be competed down.

@@88jpen this. I just googled it, between the 200 and 600 price range you can find a shitload of beautifull wooden tables.
@88jpen 11 місяців тому
@@Trikkie87 my point is, you have to track total time to completion of the table. Given all the work from finding a free pallet to final product you need to look at the final average hourly rate. For people new to woodworking it will take even longer, lowering their final hourly rate. Not saying there's no one that will pay hundreds for a coffee table, you'd have to see the turn around time. As this guy shows, even he couldn't move a similar table to the other guy's who managed to sell it for $550. I'm personally skeptical, and consider it may have been staged for what I think is Morely's real money making idea, being a UKpostsr with fantastical claims and a skillset.
@awesombacon932 10 місяців тому

@@Amongus-iq4kmI would have agreed with you three years ago but now I'd have to disagree. I've been buying and selling sofas on Facebook for three years, and usually free items are free for a reason. People are more drawn to expensive items because the condition is usually new or close to new. Free items are usually trash worthy. I've bought sofas for like £20 off people, and sold them about three days later for like £450. Which is about 2/3 of the price if you bought it new in store. It also doesn't help when you set a price and start lowering it a few days later. The moment someone sees the price lower, they know that persons looking for a quicker sale, and they can either wait until it's really low or offer a ridiculous price.

As someone who sells speakers and audio gear on marketplace, I can say with 1000% certainty that the quality of the photos and the background you choose plays a gigantic role on the amount of clicks and interest you get. Speakers are a visual art to many, and so to see them fresh and clean and in a well-lit, organized room seems to be the difference between scrolling by and investigating. I would image furniture is the same way, if not more so.
@KempandSonProjects 6 місяців тому
I'm so glad someone has mentioned this. I buy and sell sofas, and have done for three years. One thing you learn quickly (which others who do what I do in my area haven't) is that, you gotta have a really good variety of photos to advertise your item with. Many of them take pictures outside dusty garages, and horribly lit areas, and they have those sofas for weeks with the prices consistently getting lower. I always have my photos done outside but then run an AI App on my phone which generates a professional looking background. My sofas usually go for twice what others would price at, and that's mainly due to the images I provide. They usually sell within 2-6 days. Keep hustling those speakers though man. Wish you all the best ✌🏻✌🏻

A little warning for anyone who wants to use pallets for furniture; make sure you know the entire history of what's been stored on those pallets. You don't want that ancient wood that's gone through ten oversees containers and been soaked in rain, piss, mold and a chemical spill. You never gonna resurface that, because it's core deep. Food store pallets are always the safest.

That was so fun to watch! Hahaha I felt the planer getting stuck so hard 😂 In terms of it not selling, I wouldn't discount the hardwood vs pine pallet. I think that consumers are so used to Ikea pine tabletops, that when they see one (even if it's handmade), they associate it with mass production. Hardwood pallets can take longer to find but are so worth it IMO. Also, being in Toronto, where people are willing to pay good money for handmade furniture, was a big advantage for me! Awesome job man, and thank you so much for the feature and the kind words. 👊♥

$600 at least to me, and apparently most, was too high of a price point. Not everyone is up for negotiations or willing to make offers that are greatly lower than ask.

You don't need a shop and fancy tools to learn. I'm a woman who just started and i have a circular saw, a drill, hand saw and about to puchase a tiny sander. Can make quite a few beginner projects with just these.

I have one mantra in my life, it is a lovely quote from the late punk-legend Johnny Thunders. It goes like this, "It doesn't pay to try, all the smart boys know why". It goes for everything in my life. For Johnny's sake, I think it was specifically aimed towards relationships and quitting heroin.

Your table ended up looking like it was made from cheap pine... because it was. Morley's pallet was a heavy-duty pallet designed to carry greater weight. Because of that, the wood he used was harder, had a tighter grain, and just plain looked better. Even with the same tools and same skills, Morley's table was going to end up looking better.

Me wasting 10s of thousands of dollars to find out I can make custom furniture that doesn’t sell for under $1,000 dollars… 😢😢 kidding. I saw his video before this. For how little he knew, he gave it his all, and impressed me with his hustle.

Although I haven’t tried a table as a resale project, I reclaim wood from pallets, and other sources, for reuse as custom kitchen backsplashes, accent walls, and a variety of other projects. After ensuring all materials are free of fasteners, the boards (which may be oak, pine, fir, ash, poplar, walnut, etc.) are planed to a uniform thickness, and cut to standard widths (varies depending on the board). Once planed, an ugly dirty board often exposes amazing and beautiful grain structure. There is a lot of labor to get the boards ready, however, installing custom made backsplashes and accent walls made from genuine reclaim easily surpasses the $600 mark for a pallet.

Resent the implication that an R4512 is a “beginner tool”. I’ve had one for 9 years now and - to be fair - I upgraded the fence to a Biessemeyer style fence because the factory fence was crap, but it’s a great saw! Powerful, quick startup when wired to 220 and with a good blade on it it cuts fantastic. I did have a bit of trunnion trouble but I fixed that easily myself. Not gonna say it’s as good as a Powermatic or a Sawstop but I am far from a beginner and I am not held back by my table saw very often. I’d upgrade if I had tons of cash rolling around but for the price point it’s a fantastic saw in the hands of someone who knows how to tune their machine.

I think the big problem with listing it on your pages is that you got a bunch of woodworkers and makers who don't want to pay $600 knowing they can make it for much less thanks to the video and knowing it would probably be out soom enough to see how to make their own. But thanks. LOL. Great looking table.

The thing is you can spend 10 minutes looking at furniture in a donation store, or hand-me-down store, or cheaper online listings, or such. You'll see tens of couches, tables, workbenches, stools, chairs, cabinets, all kinds of hand-made stuff, just like that table but missing a liquid glaze over the top usually. Something like the table shown here would be sold for under $100 but over $30 anywhere I've seen. That's because you'll usually see another 5 short tables right next to it for $5-15 for example. Selling it to a person 1 to 1 like you tried to was the best option for a better payout, but most people already have a coffee table or look for a cheap simple one. Have to find a niche looking room for it to match in or perhaps pair it with a larger table of the same materials.

Hey a tip with the planers is bypass or replace the 18 amp built in breaker because it gets weak and trips before the actual 18 amps, and more than likely with most jobsite style tools they can handle the 20 amps that you plug it into normally

Hey John, if or when you break down another pallet. If you have a small car jack, use it between the boards on the pallet it makes it a lot easier to disassemble. Anyhow thanks for another great one bro.. take care, and happy holidays.

Anyone can say they got this much for a small table, I just watched his most recent one and he made a desk and settled on 1000 dollars but says the guy liked it so much he paid him 1200 for it. Not really believing that one, specially since he broke a foot off while taking it up to the guys apartment. Your table was nice but a 200 dollar price tag is more realistic.

Honestly? I think Morleys video was staged, either completely lot somewhat staged. If you remember when he delivers the table, he handles it so poorly that he breaks the legs off and the buyer apparently just didn't care. Ive sold a few projects at 300+ myself, and I would be horrified with myself if I did what morley did. And the fact that the buyer just didnt care AT ALL that his table was blatantly damaged is just so suspicious to me.

Interesting test. I thought for sure once you put it on your social media that you would get crazy interest. I’ve been doing woodworking for 10 years now. I definitely have nicer tools now than when I started. It was fun to watch you build with the tools that most people start with. I say fun…. Because of the planer and the table saw. I would NOT enjoy going from my Shop Fox 15” planer with helical heads to my old Dewalt. I laughed out loud when the board got bound up. Too close to home. LOL. Great video. Enjoyed watching.

Thanks for that video I enjoyed watching it. I also saw the original video you were doing your test from. I also do so work with reclaimed pallets. Although you may pick up the pallets for free it's labour intensive to get to the finished product. I'm an ordinary Joe soap and when I seen the other guy looking for 600 bucks for that table I could'nt believe it. However when he did make the sale an old proverb came to mind, " Fools and their money are easily parted " While I do think it's a beautiful piece I certainly don't think it's worth a 600 bucks price tag. I think your video is definitely more realistic, people may look at it and agree its fabulous but aren't going to shell out such an unrealistic price to buy it.

Pallets are pretty good if you can get them for cheap. My dad built me a sturdy "play" house /house for my bunny when i was a kid (30 years ago, i would guess). It was more the focus of the bunny and the space for me inside was for hay bales and all the things I needed for my bunny. He did it right. After I grew up and didn't go to this place where he built it, it's just about the only structure still around from that time. They sawed it off it's foundation too to give it a better place on the grounds. They must've used a crane or something cos it's not that small. They put all sorts of crappy paint on it over the years, but I will always remember it as it was. Black tar paint and a white door and accents. It wasn't girly, cos daddy's girl was a tomboy. It was practical and just good. The door never stuck but kept the wind out. All that good stuff. He was a metal worker by profession, working on ships. If I tell my dad I am proud of him, the old man will tear up. :) Edit: btw, not playing favourites. I love the smell of wood being worked and metal being worked.
